About the event
Entering its third year, Elgin Arts Happy Hour continues to bring area creatives together for a casual, welcoming space to connect—no agenda, no sales pitch, just snacking, sipping, and being in the same room with our creative community.
Last Monday of each month | 5:00-7:00 PM
June will be held at THE DIVE BAR located at 109 E. Highland Avenue, Downtown Elgin. (Street parking on Highland and Grove, as well as the City lot across the street.)
"... You wanna be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name."
Free & open to the public (21+ to enter / for alcohol)
Our co-host for June is the Downtown Neighborhood Association!
The DNA will be hosting its June Stakeholders Meeting at Side Street Studio Arts from 3-4:45pm prior to the Happy Hour, so if you live, work, own or rent in downtown, join the DNA to see what they've got cooking for the summer!
(FREE and open to the public)
15 Ziegler Court, Downtown Elgin
(The meeting is upstairs and is not wheelchair accessible.)
